BREAK ARTS III - Major Update Ver. 2.0 Now Live!

We've released a major update for BREAK ARTS III that greatly enhances the game experience! The battle system and UI have been renewed, and new plugins and difficulty levels have been added for more mech-customizing action.

●A More Intuitive Battle System

We've revised the attack and shield systems to simplify resource management during battles. The shield system has been changed to a gauge-based "constantly regenerating shield, which allows for a wider range of customization options and strategies.
Kicking is also easier and more accurate, making it a more practical form of attack.

●Fewer Weight Restrictions, More Creativity

The weight restrictions for mech designs have been relaxed! And now that the shield system has been revised, modules no longer have a shield parameter. Now, players can design an even wider variety of machines without worrying as much about their stats.

●A Brand New UI

The match UI has been updated for better readability and more strategic gameplay. The UI now displays opponents' match ranking, ability usage, health, and energy levels, allowing for more strategic battles.
Information about your surroundings is all contained in the minimap for snappier decision-making.

●New Extra Grand Prix and Achievements!

3 Extra Grand Prix, a BREAK ARTS series staple, have been added! Clear missions from the BREAK ARTS developers and join shady matches to get a glimpse into the mysteries of the BREAK ARTS world. Are you skilled enough to beat these extra difficult challenges?

●New Plugins with Special Abilities

New special plugins have been added to the game, such as Overcast, which strikes the player currently in first place with lightning, and Overcoat, which grants your unit rock-hard defense. Of course, new plugins means new strategies and fighting styles, as well as additional depth to the mech customization.

●Various Tweaks and Bug Fixes

Besides the above, we've also balanced weapon parameters, updated the tutorial, and fixed multiplayer bugs to further improve the experience.

Alongside the major update, a new bonus track has also been added to the BREAK ARTS III Soundtrack, available on Steam!

For more details on the update, please refer to the patch notes posted in the Steam News.

About the Game

The breathtaking battle racing game has finally broken through the limitations of the race, and has been completely revamped as an all-rounded robot competitive sports game. Robot customization now has even more freedom and more options than ever before!
In destruction, there is beauty.

BREAK ARTS III (BA3 for short) is a "mech-customizing all-rounded competitive sports" action game that features the following:

● Incredibly detailed customization options, where anyone can make their own unique robots
● Strategic decisions that challenge you to customize robots suitable for the terrain,           environment, and game plan, and also put your skills as a pilot to the test
●Stunning graphics and a photo mode with all sorts of handy functions

Customization-Centric Gameplay

Enter competitions and earn prize money to unlock blueprints for new modules and machines.

If you're having a hard time defeating your rivals, it's time to customize your robot. Create your very own custom combinations and strategies to tackle every situation, and you'll emerge victorious!

What awaits at the end of all your battles...?

More Rules, More Playstyles

Race: No weapons, only racing. It's as simple as that.
Will you build the most lightweight robot possible, or add every thruster you can to blast across the circuit?

Battle: There's no determined race track in Battle Mode. Move around the field freely to fight against your rivals.
You lose points if you get knocked out, so you'll have to avoid your opponents' attacks while taking them down!

Battle Racing: A sport that combines racing and battling.
You get ranked based on both how well you did in the race, how many rivals you defeated, and how many times you got defeated.

All of these competitions are held in different stages, which all have different terrain, gravity, and climates. It's your job to send out a robot that's fit for the situation.

The Customization Rabbit Hole Deepens

You can create your very own robots by attaching all sorts of modules to the connectors on the base frame.

By using movable joints, you can make all sorts of parts, such as wings that open when your robot moves a certain way.

In addition, you can customize how your robot moves, add optional parts, pick colors for each part, choose the ammo type for your weapons... The "bottomless rabbit hole" that the previous games were known for has just gotten even deeper.

Online Modes

In online modes, you can adjust the parameters of each match, from game modes and stages to the intensity of gravity, energy recharge rate, and even temperature. Test your skills against players from all around the world, learn from their strategies, and get new ideas for customization.

You could show off your most straightforwardly powerful units, or use your imagination to upset the competition when they least expect it. Every online match is a heated game of mind chess.

In the new Co-op Mode, multiple players can pilot the same machine designed with multiplayer-specific parts. Work with your teammates in a never-before-seen cooperative experience.

Score Attack Mode

Compete with players worldwide and aim for the best times, scores, and enemy takedown counts. Score Attack is a mode where you can strive for the most optimal mech builds and hone your skills to the extreme. Get high scores to earn prize money to further customize your units.

Online rankings are reset every month, so no matter when you decide to join in, you can aim for the top alongside everyone else.

Diorama Mode

In Diorama Mode, all mech parts are unlocked from the start. There are also zero restrictions on mech parameters, so you can freely build whatever design you want without worrying about its practicality.

Build the coolest mech of your dreams, or the weirdest meme machine you can imagine. Photograph your creations and share them on social media to show off your creativity!
